Introduction:
1.
The ecoSAVER solar panel system is designed to warm your pool water by absorbing warmth from the sun. The
water flows through the multiple tubes in the panels collecting heat as it passes through. The heated water is then
returned to your pool, thereby heating your pool and saving energy costs.
2.
The ecoSAVER System connects to the pool pump and filter and requires no additional source of energy or power.
The pool pump must be running and water must be circulating through the solar panels for water heating to occur.
3.
With proper installation, the ecoSAVER system can raise pool water temperature up to 10 – 15 º F and extend your
pool season. (Temperature gain is dependent on the number of hours of sunshine in the middle of the day and the
ambient air temperature.)
4.
The ecoSAVER system is made from LDPE resin polymers. LDPE is ideal for its flexibility, resilience and chemical
resistance. The ecoSAVER system will provide years of use.
5.
The flexibility of ecoSAVER’s LDPE material allows for easy handling and fast installation.
6.
LDPE polymers will withstand temperatures up to 175 º F. This allows you to install it in direct sunlight in a hot
location (such as a hot roof) where it can absorb the maximum amount of heat more quickly.
Proper Sizing of an ecoSAVER System:
1.
The number of ecoSAVER solar collector panels required will vary depending on many variables including: the size of
the pool, the number of sunny days, and the average air temperature.
2.
On cloudy or rainy days water circulation through the ecoSAVER panels may actually cool water. If you run your filter
at these times, you may purchase the
optional Diverter Valve Kit (part # ESDK-1)
. Installing a Diverter Valve will
allow water to bypass the panels and return directly to the pool.
3.
A solar blanket and reel system must be used for optimal results.
Failure to properly use a solar blanket will
diminish heat gain and temperature retention, especially at night. Please cover the pool at night and when not in
use.
